| Description of the problem | I had 2 occurrences of unintentional acceleration. Both events transpired as follows: 1) applied brakes in preparation of starting engine and engaging transmission. 2) started engine, put it in "drive" and engine suddenly accelerated and jumped forward. 3) i immediately applied brakes with maximum effort to counter the acceleration. 4) threw shifter into "neutral" while engine was maxing rpms, then i shut down engine. Both events were close calls. If i had not had presence of mind i would have destroyed the vehicle and property. Vehicle was evaluated by local toyota dealer and they say they found no reason for the events. I contend that there is an issue and need to have it pursued. |
